78th Draw = Sunshine, Lollipops and... Rocket Launchers? [Open Action/Voice]

[Action for at the Schoolhouse!

Oh look fellow classmates, it's a chilly December morning and it's a little bit after classes have started and here comes Selphie barrelling down the pathway in vain to make it to classes on time. Honestly, the perky brunette is surprised she hasn't been given detention for the rest of her life because of it. Of course, if you ask her why she's late dear teacher, dear teacher, she just might flush a bright shade and stutter out something about oversleeping for the umpteenth time.

After school it's off to the Battle Dome for some training!

Action around Cloud Nine/Seventh Heaven

The person playing the piano isn't the best player in the world but she's a lot better than she used to be. One thing about being Frederic Chopin's student in piano was that you were guaranteed an excellent, patient teacher. At any rate, Selphie's had permission from Ginia for quite some time to use the piano in Cloud Nine for practicing purposes. Her school bag, nunchaku and training gear are on the floor by the bench of the piano in the club. She warms up with a Minuet in G Major by Haydn before moving onto something a bit more festive in the form of Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy by Tchaikovsky. She'd found the piece in a book in the library and had spent quite a number of hours meticulously transcribing every little note, accidental and nuance of the iconic piece. She hasn't quite mastered Andante non troppo so it sounds choppy to say the least as she frowns at the sheet of music in front of her.

She'll be playing various little songs that she's learned for a good hour or so before packing up her belongings, closing the piano and leaving the night club. First she'll stop in to say to the guys in Seventh Heaven because she spends enough time lately to be known on a first name basis.

Afterwards, it's off to home for the day unless someone happens to stop her along the way. She'll be chipper as ever for many reasons but the cloud of gloom that hangs over the village some days doesn't seem to bother her in the least. She's Selphie for a reason.

Later in the evening, after she's settled down in her favourite chair with a cup of hot chocolate (not the Victorian variety but just as good) she opens her journal to finally deliver some news that she should've said quite some ago but she had to take the time to work it through with herself first.]


I don't think many of you got to know them this time around but Squall, Irvine and Rinoa have been sent home again. It was nice to see them again and if the Malnosso even think of bringing any of them back a third time, I'm blowing them all up to smithereens!

[And this citizens of Luceti is why you should never let Selphie have anything that explodes.]

[F-FFFFFF. He doesn't laugh, but he does nearly smirk, and politely gestures to his own nose so she'll get the hint]

In that case, would Selphie-chan mind some company for a bit?

[Action] /o/

[identity profile] boomchucka.livejournal.com 2011-12-12 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Selphie blinks a couple times before poking the end of her nose and seeing whipped cream on her finger.]

I'd love some a company and a napkin, please.

[Action] /o/

[identity profile] odastillhatesme.livejournal.com 2011-12-12 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
[And suddenly - napkin! Which he swiped from underneath the counter.]

I think I can manage that~!

[Action]

[identity profile] boomchucka.livejournal.com 2011-12-12 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Which Selphie accepts happily and wipes the cream off her nose.]

Thank you! Did I get it all?

[Action]

Yes~!! And now Selphie-chwan's beauty knows no bounds!

I dunno Sanji, you're lookin' pretty handsome yourself today.

[Compliment for a compliment? Yes indeed!]

[That earns a laugh and a bright smile]

My very life is complete with your approval~! [He settles on getting himself a glass of water that he'd stashed underneath the counter]

How have you been, neh?

[Action]

[identity profile] boomchucka.livejournal.com 2011-12-13 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds like I'll have to pop over to make your day more often then, huh?

[He can sip his water and she'll sip at her hot chocolate and a quick napkin swipe afterwards.]

Well, I was released from the captivity of the apartment and I'm literally on cloud nine these days. Just doing the usual though. School, patrol, train, piano lessons, turning Ceodore into my personal guinea pig. You know; the usual.

I'm not one to turn down the company of a beautiful lady~ [It's true enough. Plus he could use someone to chat with on the slow days.

He listens intently to her rattle off a list, eyebrows shooting up at the last bullet point]


Guinea pig?

[identity profile] boomchucka.livejournal.com 2011-12-14 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Guinea Pig. For cooking. I've been practicing.

[Action]

[identity profile] odastillhatesme.livejournal.com 2011-12-15 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
Selphie-chan's been practicing~~?

[DEETS]

[Action]

[identity profile] boomchucka.livejournal.com 2011-12-16 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
I have. All kinds of stuff. Macaroni and Cheese, cookies, a seriously botched attempt at tarts -- too much sugar, meatloaf, hamburgers, pasta salad, spaghetti.

[She has a bottomless pit of a boyfriend, are you that surprised Sanji?]

[identity profile] odastillhatesme.livejournal.com 2011-12-16 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
Hoooo... one day I'd love to taste something Selphie-chan has made~!

[Action]

[identity profile] boomchucka.livejournal.com 2011-12-16 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
Hrmmmmm...

[Selphie taps her chin thoughtfully as she ponders this idea.]

I think I can manage that.

[Action]

[identity profile] odastillhatesme.livejournal.com 2011-12-16 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
You'll make something just for me!?

[Action]

[identity profile] boomchucka.livejournal.com 2011-12-17 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
Sure! I actually didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I do now.

Any requests?

[Action]

[identity profile] odastillhatesme.livejournal.com 2011-12-17 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Grew on you, heh? [Sanji's more pleased than he probably has any right to be. Still, it's nice seeing the fever of cooking catch on]

And you ever tried making a seafood pasta?

[Action]

[identity profile] boomchucka.livejournal.com 2011-12-20 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
It grew on me a lot. Especially when I found one of my favourite recipes from my childhood.

Seafood pasta? Can't say I have, no.

[Action]

[identity profile] odastillhatesme.livejournal.com 2011-12-20 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
It's a breeze to make. And I can show you a recipe later.

[Action]

[identity profile] boomchucka.livejournal.com 2011-12-20 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
You know... I might just have to steal your cookbook.

[Action]

[identity profile] odastillhatesme.livejournal.com 2011-12-20 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
... Which one, Selphie-chan? [That's like saying you're gonna steal a blade of grass from the yard.]

[identity profile] odastillhatesme.livejournal.com 2011-12-23 07:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh god that still doesn't narrow it down.]

How about I show you the cookbook I made in Luceti?

[identity profile] boomchucka.livejournal.com 2011-12-23 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
You've been making a Luceti cookbook?

[Have a bright smile.]

I'd love to.

[identity profile] odastillhatesme.livejournal.com 2011-12-25 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Back when I was last here. It never came home with me, so I bet I can track it down.
